Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 was scheduled to release on 31 July 2020. However, like many other films, the much-awaited sequel was also paused midway due to the coronavirus pandemic and lockdown.
However, now that Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray allowed resuming the shoots with strict guidelines it seems Bhool Bhulaiyaa’s shoot isn’t resuming anytime soon.
When the coronavirus outbreak in India happened, Kartik Aaryan, Kiara Advani, Tabu and director Anees Bazmee were shooting in Lucknow. The producer of the horror-comedy Murad Khetani immediately called off the shoot and made sure everyone working on the film reaches their respective homes before the situation gets worse.
Producer Murad Khetani, was in a conversation with a daily where he revealed, ”No, we have no plans of resuming shoot for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 right now. The entire team including our co-producer Bhushan Kumar, director Anees Bazmee, actors Tabu, Kartik Aaryan, Kiara Advani and others have been in regular touch and we have realized that the situation currently is extremely worrisome around us. It won’t be right or safe to shoot in such a situation. We will wait it out for some more time before we take a call on resuming shoot. The guidelines laid out also make it very inconvenient for everyone to shoot”.
“We were shooting in Lucknow when the Corona outbreak happened. So traveling won’t be safe at this point. That’s why when we decide to resume shooting, we will start with our Mumbai leg first with proper safety and precautions and then see how it goes,” he further added.
The first installment of Bhool Bhulaiyaa starred Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan. It was released in 2007.
